Re: Multiple users (team/org[anization]-wide task management)

[Carsten Dominik <dominik@science.uva.nl>]

I don't currently share an org-mode files with others, but it seems
to me that you can very easily use CVS or something similar.  Then
every user can work on their own copy of the same file.  If
everyone sticks to his/her region in the file, merging will be very
easy.

Plain text does have its advantages.
